NA Beard, Not trying to be argumentative or difficult but any experienced contractor who would even think about taking on a project like this for anything other than T&M would be committing suicide and could easily go broke and/or get their arses sued off not to mention the damage it would do to their reputation and credibility.

@William Hochstedler @Christian Brodin Excellent post.

Typically we do not change the city of Milwaukee SOW numbers.Majority of the time investors perform renovation little lower than city of Milwaukee numbers.Example: City of Milw SOW estimate $17,000                 Client completes renovations for $15,734Most importantly investor should calculate permits need and your time for renovations.The current list is more geared towards local investor or excellent boot on ground team.

You have received some excellent advice my 2 cents follows. 

Last but not least, BP forums offer an excellent platform to connect with the local members and ask questions.Good luck!

@Joshua Dorkin @Mindy Jensen This is a great direction to go with increasing BP's effectiveness as a networking resource, but I think there is even more potential to be tapped here.BP does an excellent job in facilitating rapid, personal growth of your real estate networks by letting you connect with others in your geographic location, market segment or area of interest.
